So the girls and I were playing Heroclix yesterday, as described earlier in this blog, and a friend (adult) of the family was over, watching politely. We were telling him about the various characters and their histories (as one does), and I half-apologized to him, saying that this must be a bit dull to him but I was (and I quote) a pretty big comic geek.
He said that he used to be, as well, until it was shamed out of him. :(
So I guess that I do know someone, after all, who had negative stuff happen due to comic books.
Small world. Unfortunately.

Oh yeah. I was talking to the meter reader last Wednesday, and made a joke about having to go and get my new comics. He practically burst into tears. Guess his ex-wife took all his Golden and Silver age stuff in the divorce.
I felt so sorry for him.
Ow, that had to hurt.
